Full-time

Phillips & Paolicelli, LLP

Company Description Phillips & Paolicelli, LLP is a plaintiff-side law firm dedicated to representing injured children, workers, and individuals harmed by toxic exposures, dangerous medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and substandard medical care. The firm focuses on securing fair compensation so clients can maintain dignity and financial stability while deterring future corporate and healthcare misconduct. Because many of these harms are hidden and develop over time, the firm is skilled at uncovering scientific and legal connections that are often missed by others. Phillips & Paolicelli has built a reputation for taking on complex, groundbreaking cases and pushing into new legal territory. The firm strives to give voice and hope to victims of corporate greed and negligence and to help end harmful corporate and medical practices.
